The invention discloses application of SAA1 as a target spot in preparation of a
medicine for preventing and treating
kidney diseases, and belongs to the field of
gene functions, application and biological
medicine. In-vivo and in-vitro experiments prove that in an
ischemia / reperfusion or ureteral obstruction induced
mouse kidney disease model, the knockout of the SAA1
gene can relieve renal interstitial vascular endothelial
cell injury, recover a renal
capillary network, improve
vascular permeability, reduce collagen deposition, inhibit
renal fibrosis and effectively
delay the progress of
kidney diseases; furthermore, by adopting the SAA1 recombinant
protein vaccine to immunize mice, the
organism can be induced to generate a protective
neutralizing antibody, and the SAA1 recombinant
protein vaccine has a remarkable protective effect on
kidney diseases induced by
ischemia / reperfusion and ureteral obstruction. Therefore, the SAA1 is an intervention target for preventing and treating the kidney diseases, the SAA1 recombinant
protein vaccine is an effective means for preventing and treating the kidney diseases, and
active immunization by adopting the vaccine is an effective strategy for preventing and treating the kidney diseases.
